FAQs

What is the main material of these trainers?

The primary material for the upper is often a mix of synthetic and textile, with a cotton lining. The midsole is made of EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) for cushioning.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

These trainers are best suited for casual wear and light activities. They offer cushioning but may not provide the specialized support or responsiveness required for serious running.

How should I clean the animal print pattern?

Clean the animal print by gently wiping with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing, which could damage the print.

What does 'low-profile design' mean for these shoes?

A low-profile design means the shoes have a sleek, close-to-the-ground appearance, typically with a thinner sole and a streamlined upper, giving a modern and less bulky look.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the trainers can handle light splashes, they are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may affect the comfort and material integrity.

What is the benefit of the EVA midsole?

The EVA midsole provides lightweight cushioning, helping to absorb shock and provide comfort during everyday wear.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and try re-tying them, ensuring the padding in the tongue and cuff is properly aligned. If still uncomfortable, consider if the size is appropriate for your foot.

Print fading or discoloration

Avoid direct sunlight for prolonged periods and harsh cleaning chemicals. Clean using only a damp cloth and mild soap as per care instructions.

Sole feels stiff

The EVA midsole provides lightweight cushioning. Wear the shoes for short periods to allow them to break in. Consistent wear will help them conform to your foot shape.
